- In this follow up video, the basics of construction for this escapement mechanism are reviewed. This device was not particularly hard to build and can be simplified beyond what was shown here. In the prior video of this piece, the operation and various parts were identified as simple machines making it ideal as an instructional tool. Possible lessons in physical science concepts may include such concepts as, potential energy, kinetic energy, simple machines, compound machines, mechanical advantage and friction.
As always, I wanna thank you for making a great video! Since the first part I’ve spent about an hour watching various other escapement videos on youtube, incredibly fascinating designs. Such a wide range of functional setups. I’ve finally gotten proper wood. If I make anything decent, I’ll upload and let you know!
Hi Forrest, you're right, I was amazed at how many different types of escarpments have been designed over the years, I said hundreds but it's more like thousands. I would be very interested in seeing or hearing any progress or questions you have if you do take one of these up as a project
thank you for showing the DIY side of this amazing mechanism. takes away the fear of learning
As a previous student, it is great to still see you putting out videos.
Thank you, I loved teaching and doing the videos makes me feel like I still have a connection to it.
This video helps me greatly! I am considering creating a hydroponic grow tower system but did not want to have electricity going to it all the time. This should be a great start to have the fly wheel turn a drill pump!
Mr Bruce, thank you for this post I have been Anxiously awaiting it. I believe that with this information I will be able to build this one. I will certainly give it a try.. thank you again Mr.Bruce..
good luck with it John
Brilliant, Professor! In the last episode we exchanged comments on the planetary gear system as a constant-motion escapement. Sometimes, I think I end up over-complicating things, because your mechanism is just elegant and simple. Always a joy to see your videos. Thanks, and cheers!
Hi Luis, I would love to do a planetary gear system, would be very interesting to see, and I hope to try one at some point. There is a reason why my pieces are simple, I need better tools or more skills with the ones I have
You might then be interested in Smarter Every Day's take on the planetary gearing escapement: th-cam.com/video/Jsc-pQIMxt8/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Professor. Stay safe!
What an important work you do!! Congrats!!
Nice work, makes me want to build one for my physics classroom!
I love your channel but it also makes me feel inadequate as a physics teacher. Thank you for inspiring me to do more!
Beautiful Projects !!
Great work. Thank you for the Video.
Awesome ! Now I need to make one.
Fantastic. Thanks for posting
Amazing work.
1:12 That is usually referred to as a bushing - a bearing, although not a ball-bearing.
Good video, fabrication and design.
Oh boo hoo
I can't remember how I landed here long ago, but I still enjoy all of the projects on this channel and this one is a gem too.
[As a reader of the info boxes of vids, there's a few spelling mistakes, just to let you know ... Nothing you'll be sent to jail for though ;-D and I'll edit this later so that it was never here ;-) ]
thanks reddiep75, nice to hear you stayed with the channel. Also thanks for reminding me about the information box, I sometimes have to post a video 2 or 3 times before it actually gets published. In some cases the sound may not be right or I'll decide to change something before hitting the publish button so I don't put much effort into what goes into that space. Today I forgot to check it closely before publishing, I went back and changed it a bit and will add more to it over the the next day or two.
reggiep75....blow it out your arse....mister perfect
LOL, how about if I just said thanks, I'll check it
@@TC-bz9dz - That should be 'Blow it out of your arse, Mr. Perfect.'
Wind your neck in, princess, I was only trying to be helpful. If you've taken offence at something someone on the internet said, maybe you should step away from technology and the Technocratic Overlords ruling over you, find a safe space and have a chat with yourself eh?
Can the flywheel be used as a driving gear? Was considering using a model like this to drive a marble chain lift using gravity, but would the forces of the marbles’ weights prevent the escapement?
This has been wonderful. Does anyone know what would be required to allow the pendulum enough force to swing against resistance? i.e. through water Thanks, J
Very impressive!
Nice work. Is there a scalable plan on a pdf, etc somewhere? Regards.
Great work.thanks to you brother
Great stuff again, what's the advantage to adding the flywheel? Is the timing more consistent?
I wanted a bit more than just the pendulum movement. I considered about having it drive some sort of chaotic device, some gears, or other other type of movement that would be more interesting. This was a good learning session for me, eventually I'd like to add a bit more complexity to it or start over again and try something else.
@@YeanyScience - Go full Rube Goldberg in the next machine!
Bruce Yeany add a Alternator
@@YeanyScience So that it is not just a decoration, try to use it for something practical, such as a timer to cook eggs, etc. ))
Hello.. I think we may add a simple electric generator.. Small..
And the apparatus here will be bigger.. And... It needs a lot of adjusting.. However, thnx a lot.
Have you considered mounting a mini dynamo to power a flashlight bulb or LED?
Nice one sir!! 👏
Well done, enjoyable
Dear Bruce, thank you soooo much for your inspirational videos. I've got stuck with getting the pendulum to turn the wheel... I've tried to emulate your proportions but although the action will work smoothly with a little help from me it gets firmly stuck 1/2 way round when using the pendulum. I'm a complete novice (sorry) but any advice would be hugely appreciated!
Very well demo and lot more easy then other sdemo
would be cool if you can add another gear to the current wheel to perform some practical function like a spinning fan
Neat demonstration.
Very interesting thanks!👍
Could a solar panel and a gear be used to continually keep the weight from reaching the bottom.
Thank you very much
If another log is connected to the present log with a pulley in parallel to it can we get non stop rotation of the wheel like in automatic watch due to the law of conservation of energy principle.
Hi Bruce, is it possible to buy this setup from you ?
Awesome!!!
Can you add a Huygen's continuous weight drive to this?
Are the bearings glued in? I'm having a lot of fun constructing this thing. It is harder than I thought.
mine aren't they are held there by friction
Thanks. This was really cool. I was hoping it would include some discussion of the force and energy balance between the weight and the pendulum though. Maybe not go through the math but at least show what goes wrong when the pendulum is either under or over driven.
Hi Mark, the first thing needed was to get this piece working, now that it does, I have some changes that I want to try to the design that would change or improve it. Some ideas were changing the driving force, length of the pendulum, mass of the flywheel, other options to the flywheel, and other options that can improve its movement. I'd like to do as you suggest and follow the energy flow through the device and show how some of the changes either improve it's operation or have a negative affect.
how do you adjust it to an even beat pls ??
عمل جيد ومهارة عالية good 👍 job
Hi Bruce, nice build. What's the purpose of the yellow tape on the part pushing the escapement?
This is only a guess, but when I spotted it I thought the tape was put there to reduce friction between 2 pieces where the wood grain is different as there may have been friction issues before the tape was placed.
that's it, I have since sanded the pieces a bit smoother, added a few coats of varnish and now works fine without it.
This escapment device work without a wheel??
Awesome....
hi @Bruce Yeany ! an interesting escapement mechanism and very well made! I'll try to make a lego version out of it =)
I share your perception that mechanical clocks are an amazing tool to teach various concepts of physics, math, history and geography
I'm looking forward to seeing you come up with, good luck with it
Simple and nice design! 👍
What is this used for
great job to convert potontial energy to mecanical energy
Can you make wall fan from it?
Hi Bruce, greetings from Australia. I see that you added a flywheel, rather that just a purely gravity driven pendulum. What is the benefit from adding a flywheel?
Love the name, the flywheel is for amusement purposes, much easier to make without it. I tried a few other ideas waving a flag at the top, ringing a bell ( got irritating after a few runs) but liked the flywheel.
Genial Very Nice 😃
Despite modeling, seems like some things fit and just work better when you put them together and draw it out.
I like the flywheel, that it's able to constrain the pendulum movement while giving its energy somewhere to go. I like how you used two pulleys on the weight too, that seems to keep it from turning into a pendulum itself.
Now we just need a Rube Goldberg machine to incorporate this as some sort of time delay haha
thanks Stephen, I did want a bit more to the device than just moving a pendulum back and forth. I found a similar piece and liked the wheel movement. Eventually I'd like to either add more complexity to this piece or start over and try some other options
@@YeanyScience How about adding some magnets to the flywheel and a coil next to it to make a/some led(s) burn :-)
Hi can I buy this set up from you???
Great teaching tool for the kiddos
Would making a longer pendulum slow down the action, thereby extending the run time?
that should work
Great project for a pensioner to build in my small garage. Are there any plans giving dimensions available. You give some measurement details in the videos, but several dimensions are not given. I am in South Africa and would love to hone my woodwork skills building some of the projects yo show on your page. Christopher
Hello Chris, I don't have plans for this project, but I do have plans for some of the others. You can contact me at Bgoknee@comcast.net and tell me what you want
@@YeanyScience Thank you, have sent an email to you.
Can you please provide a list of hardware/ size bolts and screws used in this project please
Can you please explain the function of the fly wheel? Will be very greatful
Thanks
I thought it would make it more interesting to watch than just having the pendulum arm swinging back and forth
Anyway that u can make for me one, simple nice to see
con eso producira una pequeña corriente electriica si le agregamos unas bobinas
Gostei, show
time working ?
hello sir i need you to give me the dimensions of all the parts on document sow I can build them
How to make it running for longer time or never ending ???💓💓💓💓💓
Hanging it higher and lengthening the string could make it last longer. Unfortunately, never-ending would be impossible. Eventually it would run out of string or hit the ground.
si può avere misure più dettagliate grazie
its amazing .. pls a add small generator to generate electricity
Cool
Two weeks of hacking finally paid off works like a charm. Lots of variables but kept me busy. Remaining mystery... what is the purpose of all the complex string path?
Your only comment on the weight is that your turn a 4 lb weight into 2 lbs. Isn't that sort self defeating? Mine runs well on just over 1 pound and with no bearings or bushing and just dropping weight to the side to clear the pendulum
Great project. Thanks
Jack
by having the weight lifted by two string I can wrap twice as much string about the crank shaft and it runs twice as long, if I had it lifted by 3 strings I could get 3 time more string around the shaft and it would run 3 times longer, 4 string lifting gets it running four times longer.
Sir, Add a generator to it to see how much electricity can it produce? Please... 🙏
Also, I didn't understand how the wooden lever works. 🤔
Lever is used to block escapement whell from spinning when pendilum is not in contact
How can you make it running for a longer time?
use a longer string, make the wheel that the string is wrapped around smaller, and increase the number of support strings for the weight by adding more pulleys, these would all give you a longer run time
@@YeanyScience the weight in this case would remain the same or I will have to increase it?
This is a great question to pose to students
I think it would be very cool to add a Geneva wheel to the upper flywheel to turn that continuous motion back to segmented motion. Useless but neat nonetheless.
Hi Dennis, you are right, eventually I would like to add more complexity to this piece or start over. The Geneva wheel would have been a good choice
Puoi mandarmi i disegni con le misure grazie e ciao
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Для электростанции!
大師 可以幫我做一份嗎???
Are you a mechanical engineer???
⏳💪💪💪
It is like pedulam watch mechanism instead of spring elastic energy controlled by balence wheel wooden log potential energy. If by connecting the fixed end of the log to the gear wheel can we get non stop rotation of wheel it would be amazing one, But here when thelog touches the ground the potential energy will be zero then the wheel stops rotating n that is the main drawbaçk of it.p
Im having fun
Клас 😊❤❤❤
Why is there a flywheel if it also works without it?
I'm having a guess at maintaining rhythm and timing consistency.
Maybe it's like reggiep75 "says" to "even out irregularities", it could also just be to illustrate how an "escapement mechanism" can be used to drive other things in a "timed fashion" and at the same time show how to convert a linear motion back to a circular motion... Or maybe both ... or for some other totally different reason ... that we might learn about in "Gravity powered Escapement Wheel Part 3" :)
Best regards.
For some reason I wanted a bit more than just the pendulum movement, I first considered having a flag on top of the pendulum, but that seemed a bit too simple, Next I considered about having it drive some sort of chaotic device, some gears, or other other type of movement that would be more interesting. After looking around at other examples I found some driving wheels and thought this would be a simple extension for now and at a later time I could add a bit more complexity to it or start over again from scratch.
